Summary:

In this revealing new study, Eva Golinger employs declassified documents, obtained through the Freedom of Information Act, and a variety of international sources to uncover an ongoing campaign to contain and cripple the democratically elected government of Latin America's leading oil power. Bush Versus Chavez details how millions of U.S. taxpayer dollars are being used to fund groups-such as the National Endowment for Democracy, the United States Agency for International Development, and the Office for Transition-with the express purpose of supporting counter-revolutionary groups in Venezuela. It explores, as well, a build-up of U.S. military troops, operations, and exercises in the Caribbean that threatens the Venezuelan people and government. Bush Versus Chavez exposes Washington's efforts to subvert a socialist revolution for the twenty-first century.
